  1. Liquid Death looks to disrupt the energy drink market after seeing explosive growth in canned water


    Liquid Death plans to expand into the energy drink market. In an emailed statement, the California-based company confirmed that it will launch Sparkling Energy nationwide in January 2026, calling it a "better-for-you" energy drink line that will be an alternative to "overboard" caffeine-loaded alternatives.

    Notably, Liquid Death says its energy drink line will have no sugar, sucralose, aspartame, or erythritol. Caffeine will be naturally sourced from coffee beans, limited to 100 milligrams per 12-ounce can. The drinks will also provide B12 and C vitamins and come in flavors like Tropical Terror, Scary Strawberry, Orange Horror, and Murder Mystery. Prices are expected to be on par with major competitors such as Monster Beverage (NASDAQ:MNST), Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ:CELH), and Red Bull.

    The move into energy drinks fits with Liquid Death's broader strategy of disrupting conventional beverage categories through bold branding and health-driven innovation. Liquid Death aims to carve out energy drink market share by appealing to both health-conscious consumers and energy drink enthusiasts who want moderate levels of caffeine with none of the usual additives.

    Liquid Death was founded in 2019 by Mike Cessario, a former creative director with roots in the punk and heavy metal culture. Inspired by seeing concertgoers drinking water from Monster Energy (NASDAQ:MNST) cans at the 2009 Vans Warped Tour, Cessario realized water could be marketed as bold and exciting—much like the branding used by energy drink and beer companies.

    Unlike traditional bottled water brands, Liquid Death packaged its product in tallboy aluminum cans for both environmental reasons and to stand out on shelves. The company's marketing leaned heavily on humor and shock value in an attempt to make water products "cool" through viral videos and partnerships with rock bands and alternative subcultures.

    Since its launch, Liquid Death has seen explosive growth. By early 2024, Liquid Death raised $67 million in a March 2024 round at a $1.4 billion valuation, with participation by new and prior investors from both financial and entertainment sectors. Notable investors include Live Nation Entertainment (LVY), SuRo Capital, and Gray's Creek Capital Partners.


    Earlier in the week, Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) started selling its energy drink product in parternship wih 1st Phorm in stores.
